An empty horizon from the deck of the 'Birkdale'. Everett has used form and colour to create the seascape. The sea is shown as a series of loosely painted diagonal peaks and troughs. The sky is streaked with paint to suggest cloud and the sun is represented with thick impasto paint. A swathe of lighter colour across the surface of the water denotes the reflections from the sun on the surface of the water. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920. It was his first journey after the First World War. The 'Birkdale' was due to take sulphur from Texas to the Cape, but when she arrived in Texas the ship was re-chartered to Australia and so Everett reluctantly left her and came home by steamer.
